Zoom Interview Tips

Interviews can be overwhelming and anxiety-inducing. And that’s without the added nuisance of technical mishaps.

While in-person interviews can be stressful, Zoom interviews come with their own set of unique challenges.

Ensuring your tech doesn’t fail, setting up your background, and interviewing without eye contact are all struggles that Zoom presents.

If you’re experiencing difficulties finding a job, we’ve got some Zoom interview tips that should help you get through your next teleconferencing interview with ease. 

Zoom Interview Dos 

• Do arrive on time. Or even better yet, arrive early. Just as you want to prove your punctuality in a face-to-face interview, you want to prove you’re reliable during a Zoom interview, too.
• Do organize your interview space. Make sure your background and desk are professional and reflect who you are as an employee.
• Do greet your interviewer. Use a friendly smile and firm language to show you’re prepared and excited for the interview.
• Do use Zoom to your advantage. Keep a list of talking points handy nearby and don’t be afraid to take notes.

These phone interview tips will help you crush your sight-unseen interview and help you get to the next step in the process.

What to Expect in a Second Interview
